Meanwhile Riner who fought in 2 european opens just to avoid fighting Tasoev, who isn’t even participating

[@malkhaznikoladze2268]

Riner is not guilty that Tasoed so much support invasion in Ukraine. This is category -60, not +100

[@aharonwaldman6384]

I might be a bit biased but I think Israel's yam volchak might surprise alot of ppl, he already has a win against Kim has some experience against mehkchidze and has some really nice throws

[@קשתגלבועאורבך]

I'm with you! It's Wolczak. And don't forget he also beat Sardalashvili in Tbilisi! (And Chkhvimiani in WC 2022)

[@wargames2195]

Smetov won, great prediction!

[@lotaonua]

How is Russia banned, but Israeli is still free to be in Olympics? I guess crimes against humanity only matter in some parts of the world

[@malkhaznikoladze2268]

You is not correct. 20% of my country is still occupied by Russia with 500 000 refugees in total. Please explain me why.

[@Cosimojpg]

@@malkhaznikoladze2268strong support for your country. Unfortunately this decision will not be of help to any occupied country, will only increase contrast and bitterness. Palestine is 100% occupied, but olympic comitee is taking no countermeasures… this is not a message for peace, is political statement by the olympic comitee.

[@malkhaznikoladze2268]

@@Cosimojpg Thanks for answer. I am not occupied country due support of western civilizations. In Palestine and in Ukraine right now the situation is rather different. For example due decusuin of Judo International Federation in each competition are presented refugees team to support athletes. But in this case most of Russian judoka - Tasoev, Igolnikov, Adamian and others formally are serving in russian army to have more money, such was practice in USSR and continues in Russia. Only add that honestly to say all listed judoka fully supports current invasion in Ukraine, I am sure personally You are not behave in similar manner. Best regards

[@Cosimojpg]

⁠@@malkhaznikoladze2268refugee’s team is a beatiful initiative from IJF, banning russian is a political decision from olympic comitee, which is a different actor. What I am saying is not to justify russian invasion of countries. My point is, if banning a nation from olympics is of any help to solve international injustice, then do it for everyone who’s violating international law, not only for those who are not friends to the west. That said, judokas are very often part of the army to be professionals (the same happens in italy), but I have not seen any russian pubblically supporting the invasion or spreading any propaganda. The same cannot be said for israeli athletes. What I am saying is that this double standard is absurd, and will not help anybody.

[@malkhaznikoladze2268]

@@Cosimojpg Thanks. I have not seen any russian pubblically supporting the invasion or spreading any propaganda - in this I am not able to agree, just visit russian You-tube. Right now one russian explain how in his village they congratulate their heroes on invasion in Ukraine. Lot of so-called good russians run away from their country, some of them are in Georgia (honestly to say most of them run away not fron Putin but from mobilization). Between them were several persons who come to Georgia border with Z nd V letters on car and when they were kicked to home \land were loudly promised that they returns on tanks. Olimpic ideals for me means no war/ After Russia-Georgia war I also are mot able to objectively discuss, forever for georgians and Ukrains (as well as for baltics) Russia is occupant and enemy

Eldos smetov Gold medal

[@teamallstars1079]

sad to see politics taking over the sport :(

[@vitaliihalkin5836]

Sad to see people still think that sport in russia separated from politics. Do you know that most of these russians has military rank? Russians will use every opportunity to provoke, spread propaganda and undermine values sport competitions should be about. It is actually a shame that they were allowed to compete after the start of full scale invasion of Ukraine. Because I don’t understand how Olympic values could be combined with your country doing war crimes almost daily and you are “neutral”🤷‍♂️ Above the fight you know. Maybe we should be sad about something else, don’t you think?

[@reymysterio13__50]

Where's the ban for Israel's judoka then? Or any other country that's involved in war? ​@@vitaliihalkin5836

[@Rinebo]

Yes and no. Yes because Russia has to know how they have affected everything and lost privileges. No because it would be fun to see the Russian Judokans, but the yes out weighs the no.

[@mateusz3162]

just don't pretend tthat this is not only ruZZia fault

[@AM42424]

@@vitaliihalkin5836if that’s the case then Israel shouldn’t be allowed to compete either. They’re currently being investigated for war crimes and their prime minister is a wanted war criminal by the ICC!

7:00 - Smetov just took gold - Great call on your #1 wild card pick

[@Fumez_Sobolan]

With the Olympics around the corner and more people sprouting an interest for the sport and Judo videos on the platform,do you think you could do a bit of editing magic and place photos/more infos about the judokas you are talking about?I am also new to the community and i can guarantee that for noobies it's nice to put a face to a name. Thank you for your content,i can't wait to see what's to come this month.

[@darthludicrous99]

You read my mind. I just started Judo a year ago and I’m completely new to the sports scene, so I would like a video that covers all the major players in the Judo world before the Paris Olympics actually begin.

[@artousfn3063]

Smetov did it🎉

[@kananisha]

No Ruassian? ( not a call of duty pun) That's crazy

[@edival.magal69]

Garrigos has improved a lot. Remember what he has done against Takato in WC

[@zoltannagy1813]

I'm hoping for Nagayama.

[@bogdanl2825]

big surprises here!

The second best nation in the world at Judo won't be at the Olympics? That's super dissapointing.

[@MrDididevi]

According to the latest results they are not the second best nation

[@JudoHighlights2015]

I’d say overall… 3rd. Japan, Georgia, Russia

[@thomaslouisdiane]

@@JudoHighlights2015 France is definitely better than georgia and russia!!! for example for the mixed team event france will seeded second after the japaneses of course

[@aqiria]

@@thomaslouisdiane That's because of women only, they're nowhere near that level when it comes to male athletes expect Riner (who is about to retire)

[@Rampage-ue5go]

@@JudoHighlights2015 Brother, arbuzov 81kg young blood ,and he already win best judokas, 73 kg lavrentev also pretty young and the only guy who can stop him is lombardo (heydarov's win doesnt count, it was a judges misstake ) 100 and 100+ need i say something? (sorry for my bad english i just learn it but i think u understand what i am talking about) no hate but Russia a little bit better than Georgia right now, IMHO 😊

Are there good russian judokas ? (I dont know)

[@M4A1MG42]

Yes

[@milanojudo]

They are one of the better judo countries

[@AceInose]

TOP3 in the world id say. Any Russian judoka at this level can give plenty of trouble to opponents.

[@richardzanguri8908]

Not in this weight class. They'd be favorites at -100 and 100+kg though
